Description
(54) ISOXAZOLYLMETHYLTHIOL CARBAMATES AND THEIR
USE AS HERBICIDES
(71) We, BASF AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, a German Joint Stock
Company of 6700 Ludwigshafen, Federal Republic of Germany, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to new and valuable isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates, herbicides containing these compounds, and methods of controlling the growth of unwanted plants with these compounds.
It is known from French Patent Specification 2,205,514 that the thiolcarbamic acid esters of imidazole have a herbicidal action. However, there is no disclosure of the type of herbicidal activity, e.g., selectivity in and tolerance by crop plants, and application rates. The herbicidal action of the active ingredients is only slight.
Numerous thiol carbamates are known as herbicides. Some of them have achieved considerable importance in agriculture and horticulture for controlling the growth of unwanted plants. A characteristic common to these compounds is the good action on unwanted grasses. However, this action varies from species to species of this family. For instance, N,N-dipropylthiolethyl carbamate controls wild oats (German Published Application DAS 1,031,571), but this species is not listed in the manufacturer's recommendations for N,N-dipropylthiolpropyl carbamate (German Published Application DAS 1,031,571). It is reported that
N,N-dipropylthiolethyl carbamate has a good action of Setaria spp., whereas the action of N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3-dichloroallyl carbamate (German Published
Application DAS 1,142,464) was inferior here. In addition to controlling unwanted grasses, some compounds of this class also destroy Cyperaceae and some broadleaved weeds. For instance, N,N-dipropylthiolpropyl carbamate has an extremely reliable action on Cyperus spp., whereas N,N-diisopropylthiol-,dichloroallyl carbamate has practically no effect on these species. An essential criterion for the use of these agents is the difference in selectivity from crop plant to crop plant. Thus, N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiolethyl carbamate (British Patent
Specification 995,316) is used predominantly in Beta beets. The most important crop plant for N,N-diisobutylthiolethyl carbamate (German Published Application
DAS 1,031,571) is Indian corn. This difference is particularly surprising in the case of N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3-dichloroallyl carbamate and N,N-diisopropythiol-2,3,3trichloroallyl carbamate (German Published Application DAS 1,142,464). Both products can be employed without difficulty in broadleaved crops such as beet and rape. For cereals, the manufacturers and distributors only recommend N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3,3-trichloroallyl carbamate, as it is less aggressive in these crops.
Prior art thiol carbamates have in general a high vapor pressure, as the following list shows:
Active ingredient vapor pressure mm Hg at OC N,N-dipropylthiolethyl carbamate 34 x 10-3 25
N,N-diisobutylthiolethyl carbamate 13 x 10-3 25
N,N-dipropylthiolpropyl carbamate 10.4 x 10-3 25
N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiolethyl carbamate 6.2 x 10-3 25
N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3-dichloroallyl carbamate 1.5 x 10-4 25 N,N.diisopropylthiol-2,3,3-trichloroallyl carbamate 1.2 x 10-4 25 hexahydro- 1 H-azepine- 1 -carbamic acid thiolethyl ester 5.6 x 10-3 25 (German Patent Specification 1,300,947) All these compounds have to be incorporated into the soil to prevent loss through evaporation. In the case of the last compound, the submerging of rice paddies probably has the same effect as incorporation.
Although generally speaking the incorporation of herbicides is positive for a number of reasons, this method of application does have considerable disadvantages, e.g., the work burden is increased, and special incorporation equipment has to be acquired. This makes itself felt particularly at farms having a low degree of mechanization. The seedbed is excessively loosened, and as a consequence certain seeds have emergence difficulties in dry weather. In areas where heavy rainfalls occur, this additional soil treatment increases the risk of erosion, particularly on sloping ground. Similarly, loosening of the soil assists wind erosion in arid wind-swept tracts. For these reasons, attempts are made under the abovementioned conditions to move the soil as little as possible during cultivation ("reduced tillage").
There is therefore a demand for active ingredients which offer an alternative to incorporation. In the field of thiol carbamates with their specific properties, such compounds, with the exception of hexahydro-lH-azepine-l-carbamic acid thiolethyl ester and S-(4-chlorobenzyl)-N,N-diethylthiol carbamate - which are used in rice -, have hitherto not been available. Attempts have recently been made in this direction with the manufacture of thiol carbamate sulfoxides.
We have now found that isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates of the formula
where R' denotes hydrogen, alkyl, alkyl interrupted by oxygen or sulfur (i.e. alkoxyalkyl or alkylmercaptoalkyl), unsubstituted or alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl, aralkyl, or optionally substituted aryl, R2 denotes hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, aryl, or halogen, R3 denotes hydrogen or alkyl, R4 denotes hydrogen or alkyl, and R5 and RO are identical or different and each denotes alkyl, alkenyl, unsubstituted or alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl, alkoxyalkyl or haloalkyl, and additionally R5 and Rs together with the nitrogen atom denote an unsubstituted or lower alkyl-substituted heterocyclic ring having up to 10 ring carbon atoms, preferably 4, 5, 6 or 7 ring members, have a strong herbicidal and selective action.
These active ingredients offer, in addition to the wider spectrum of action, a flexibility in the application hitherto unknown in this class of compounds.
The radicals R contained in the isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates of the formula I have for instance the following meanings:
R' = hydrogen; lower alkyl of a maximum of 6 carbon atoms optionally interrupted
by O or S, e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl,
tert-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, 3-pentyl, n-hexyl, isopropylmercaptomethyl,
methoxymethyl; cycloalkyl of a maximum of 8 carbon atoms optionally
substituted by lower alkyl, e.g. cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cyclo
octyl; aralkyl, e.g. benzyl, l-phenylethyl, 2-phenylethyl; and optionally
substituted aryl, e.g. phenyl, chlorophenyl, fluorophenyl, dichlorophenyl,
trifluoromethylphenyl;
R2 = hydrogen; optionally substituted lower alkyl of a maximum of 6 carbon atoms,
e.g. methyl ethyl, isopropyl, chloromethyl; aryl, e.g. phenyl; and halogen, e.g.
chloro, bromo, iodo;
R3 and R4 = hydrogen, and lower alkyl of a maximum of 6 carbon atoms, especially
methyl;
R5 and R6 = lower alkyl of a maximum of 6 carbon atoms, e.g. methyl, ethyl,
n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, n-penty'l, 2-pentyl, 3-pentyl,
n-hexyl; lower alkenyl of a maximum of 4 carbon atoms, e.g. allyl methallyl, but-2 en-1-yl, but-4-en-l-yl; cycloalkyl of a maximum of g carbon atoms
optionally substituted by lower alkyl, e.g. cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl,
cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 2-methylcyclopentyl; alkoxyalkyl of a maximum of 6
carbon atoms, e.g. 2-methoxyethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, l-methoxy-2-propyl, 3
methoxypropyl; haloalkyl of a maximum of 4 carbon atoms, e.g. 2
chloroethyl, I-chloro-2-propyl, 3-chloropropyl; R5 and R6 together with the
nitrogen atom may also denote a heterocyclic ring of a maximum of 10 carbon
atoms, preferably 4-7 ring members, optionally substituted by one or more
lower alkyl groups, e.g. azetidine, 2-methylazetidine, 2,4-dimethylazetidine, 2,4,4-trimethylazetidine, pyrrolidine, 2-methylpyrrolidine, 2-ethylpyrrolidine,
2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine, piperidine, 2-methylpiperidine, 2-ethylpiperidine, 2
methyl-5-ethylpiperidine, hexahydroazepine, 2-methylhexahydroazepine, 2,3
dimethylhexahydroazepine, heptamethylenimine, bicyclo-[3,2,2]-3
azanonane, morpholine, 2,6-dimethylmorpholine, 3,5-dimethylmorpholine.
The compounds according to the invention of the formula I may be prepared in accordance with the process A equation below by reaction of an isoxazolyl methyl halide or isoxazolyl methylalkane sulfonate with a salt of a thiol carbamate.
Process A:
In the above formulae R' to R6 have the above mentioned meanings, X denotes halogen or alkane sulfonate and M denotes an alkali metal atom or ammonium optionally substituted by 2 or 3 alkyls. The starting materials of the formula II employed in process A are known or may be prepared by reaction of nitrile oxides with acetylene halides. Examples of such compounds are 5-chlormethyl-3-methylisoxazole, 5-bromomethyl-3-ethylisoxazole, 5-chloromethyl-3-isopropylisoxazole, 5-bromomethyl-3-tert-butylisoxazole, 5-chloromethyl-3,4-dimethylisoxazole, 5-(1'chloroethyl)-3-methylisoxazole, 5-bromomethyl-3-phenylisoxazole, 5-chloro methyl-3-(3 ',4'.dichlorophenyl)-isoxazole, and 5-bromomethyl-3-cyclohexylisoxazole. The compounds 5-chloromethylisoxazole and 5-bromomethyl-3-methyl4-chloro (or 4-bromo)-isoxazole are known from the literature (Kochetkow and coworkers, Chemical Abstracts, 47, 2167, 1953; Khim. Geterotsikl. Soedin., 1974, 602). The corresponding isoxazolyl methylalkane sulfonates may be prepared from prior art isoxazolyl methanols (Gazz. chim. ital., 69, 536, 1939) in conventional manner by reaction with alkanesulfonic acid chlorides in the presence of agents which bind hydrogen chloride, e.g., pyridine. The isoxazolyl methyl halides may for instance be prepared as follows:

The following compounds are obtained analogously:
The compounds designated with formula III are salts of thiocarbamic acids.
Typical representatives, which may be prepared in conventional manner, are the sodium salts or the ammonium salts - optionally substituted by 2 or 3 alkyls - of N,N-dimethylthiolcarbamic acid, N,N-diethylthiolcarbamic acid, N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamic acid, N,N-di-n-propylthiolcarbamic acid, N,N-di-n-butylthiolcarbamic acid, N,N-diisobutylthiolcarbamic acid, N-ethyl-N-n-butylthiolcarbamic acid, N-ethyl-N-isopropylthiolcarbamic acid, N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiolcarbamic acid and N,N-diallylthiolcarbamic acid. Also, salts of N-azetidine-, N-pyrrolidine-,
N-piperidine- and N-hexahydroazepinethiolcarbamic acid and their derivatives substituted in thering by 1 to 3 methyl and/or ethyl groups, may be used.
Process A may be carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent, for instance hydrocarbons, e.g. cyclohexane, benzene, toluene; halogenated hydrocarbons, e.g. methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene; ethers, e.g. diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, glycol dimethyl ether; lower alcohols and ketones, e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone; nitriles, e.g. acetonitrile; and water. Mixtures of these solvents may also be used.
For the preparation of the new active ingredients, process A is preferred.
If desired, however, the isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates of the formula I according to the invention may be prepared in accordance with process B by reaction of isoxazolylmethyl mercaptans or their salts with carbamic acid chlorides.
Process B
In these formulae, R' to R6 have the above meanings and Y denotes hydrogen, an alkali metal atom, or ammonium optionally substituted by 2 or 3 alkyls.
Formula IV represents starting materials which may be prepared by conventional methods from the isoxazolyl methyl halides of the formula II by reaction with hydrogen sulfide or salts thereof (e.g. Houben-Weyl, Methoden der
Organischen Chemie, IX, 1--18). The following are examples of mercaptans of the formula IV: 3-methylisoxazolyl-5-methylmercaptan, 3-ethylisoxazolyl-5-methyl mercaptan, 3-phenylisoxazolyl-5-methylmercaptan, 3-methylisoxazolyl-5-( I ethyl)-mercaptan.
Examples of carbamoyl chlorides of the formula V are those of dimethylamine, dietylamine, di-n-propylamine, diisopropylamine, di-n-butylamine, N-ethyl-nbutylamine, N-ethyl-n-isopropylamine, azetidine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, hexahydroazepine and derivatives thereof substituted on the ring by I to 3 methyl and/or ethyl groups.
Process B is expediently carried out in the presence of a hydrogen chloride acceptor. Suitable for this purpose are inorganic bases, e.g. alkali metal bicarbonates, carbonates and hydroxides; organic bases, such as alkali metal alcoholates, e.g., sodium methylate; tertiary amines, e.g. triethylamine and N,Ndimethylcyclohexylamine; and saturated or unsaturated nitrogen heterocycles, e.g.
N-methylpiperidine, pyridine and quinoline. The process is advantageously carried out using one of the solvents (or mixtures thereof) listed under process A.
Isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates of the invention of the formula I may also be prepared in accordance with process C by reaction of an isoxazolylmethylthiochlorocarbonic acid ester with a secondary amine.
Process C:
In these formulae, R' to Re have the abovementioned meanings.
The thiochlorocarbonic acid esters of the formula VI may be prepared in conventional manner from the isoxazolylmethylmercaptans of the formula IV (Y=hydrogen) and phosgene. Examples of compounds of the formula VI are 3methylisoxazolyl-5-methylthiocarbonyl chloride, 3-ethylisoxazolyl-5-methylthiocarbonyl chloride, and 3-phenylisoxazolyl-5-methylthiocarbonyl chloride. Suitable secondary amines of the formula VII are particularly those listed at process B as components of the carbamic acid chlorides. Process C may be carried out using the inert solvents mentioned under process A - less advantageously in alcohols or water - and with or without the addition of one of the hydrogen chloride acceptors mentioned under process B.
In detail, process A may for instance be carried out as follows:
At from -20" to +50 C, 1 mole of an isoxazolylmethyl halide or alkane sulfonate of the formula II, optionally in one of the above solvents, is dripped into a solution or suspension of at least I mole of a thiol carbamate of the formula III. To complete the reaction, the mixture is stirred for from 3 to 12 hours at from 0 to 80"C. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture is poured into water and the product is extracted, if desired with an inorganic solvent immiscible with water, and subsequently isolated by distillation or crystallization.
Process B may for instance be carried out in the following manner:
A solution of I mole of isoxazolylmethylmercaptan of the formula IV in a solvent is reacted with at least one mole of a carbamic acid chloride of the formula
V in the presence of at least I mole of one of the abovementioned inorganic or organic bases at from --100 to +800C and for from I to 12 hours. The thiol carbamate according to the invention of the formula I is isolated as described above.
Process C is for instance carried out as follows:
A solution of 1 mole of a thiochlorocarbonic acid ester of the formula IV in an inert organic solvent is reacted with at least 1 mole of an amine or the formula VII; the acid-binding agent may be at least 1 mole of the inorganic or organic bases mentioned in process B. The reaction temperature is from -10" to +80"C and the reaction time from I to 12 hours, as in process B, depending on the reactants, the base and the solvent employed. The thiol carbamate is isolated as described above.
The following examples, in which the parts are by weight, illustrate the processes for preparing the isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates according to the invention of the formula 1.
EXAMPLE 1.
At 0 C, 60.0 parts of carbonylsulfide was gassed into a mixture of 102 parts of
N-ethylcyclohexylamine, 80.8 parts of triethylamine and 700 parts of methylene chloride, and the whole was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Subsequently, 105.3 parts of 3-methyl-5-chloromethylisoxazole was dripped in over a period of 1 hour at OOC, and the mixture stirred for 10 hours at room temperature. The salt which had formed was filtered off and the filtrate was washed successively with water, IN hydrochloric acid and again with water, and dried. After removal of the solvent, distillation of the residue gave 194.2 parts of 3-methyl-5-isoxazolylmethyl
N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiol carbamate, b.p. (0.2 mm Hg) 176--1790C (m.p.
60"--62"C).
EXAMPLE 2.
At OOC, 8.0 parts of carbonyl sulfide was gassed into a mixture of 21.2 parts of diisopropylamine in 100 parts of toluene, and the whole stirred for 30 minutes at 0 C and for 1 hour at room temperature. Subsequently, 19.0 parts of 3-ethyl-5bromomethylisoxazole was dripped in over a period of 15 minutes and the whole stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. After working up as in Example 1, there was obtained 21.8 parts of 3-ethyl-5-isoxazolylmethyl-N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate having a boiling point at 0.3 mm Hg of 154--156"C (n25: 1.5089).
EXAMPLE 3.
While cooling, 29.8 parts of N,N-diethylcarbamic acid chloride was dripped into a mixture of 25.8 parts of 3-methylisoxazolyl-5-methylmercaptan in 100 parts of ether and 50 parts of pyridine; the whole was then refluxed for 3 hours. After working up as in Example 1, there was obtained 35.8 parts of 3-methyl-5-isoxazolylmethyl-N,N-diethylthiol carbamate having a boiling point at 0.05 mm Hg of 136"--138"C.
EXAMPLES 4-75.

G3 CR 74 CHa H CH3 H HH3CC4t 1.5258 3 t v: Examples demonstrating the herbicidal action of the new isoxazolylmethyithiol carbamates
A series of experiments, divided in the main into the following three groups, was carried out to provide evidence in support of the statements made in the introduction about these active ingredients.
I. Greenhouse experiments
The vessels employed were paraffined paper cups having a volume of 200 cm3, and the substrate was a sandy loam containing about 1.5% (wt%) humus. The seeds of the test plants were sown shallow and separated according to species. The active ingredients were applied immediately (preemergence treatment), suspended or emulsified in water as the distribution medium and sprayed onto the soil surface by means of finely distributing nozzles. Prior to the chemical treatment, the cups were lightly sprinkler-irrigated; the agents therefore came into contact with moist soil.
After application of the agents the vessels were covered with transparent plastic hoods until the plants had taken root. This cover prevented the evaporation of water and readily volatile substances. Another effect was the more uniform emergence of the test plants, to the extent that they were not impaired by chemicals. When postemergence treatment was employed, the plants were first grown in the vessels to a height of from 3 to 10 cm, depending on the form of growth, and then treated. A cover was not used. Depending on the temperature requirements of the plants, the experiments were set up either in the cooler (l00-200C) or warmer (180--300C) portion of the greenhouse. The experiments lasted for from 2 to 6 weeks. During this period, the plants were tended and their reaction to the individual treatment was evaluated. The substances examined, the dose rates employed (in kg/ha of active ingredient) and the types of plant used in the experiments are given in the following tables. A 0--100 scale was used for assessment, 0 denoting no damage or normal emergence, and 100 denoting complete destruction or non-emergence.
II. Experiments in the open
These experiments were carried out on small plots of various sizes. The soil was a sandy loam having a pH of 56 and 1-1.5% humus. The compounds were applied from early to late fall and from early to late spring, corresponding to the sowing period for the crop plants. The compounds were emulsified or suspended in water as carrier and distribution medium, and applied by means of a motor-driven plot spray mounted on a hitch. The application methods most frequently employed were preplant incorporation and preemergence surface application. In individual experiments, the action of the agents when sprayed during emergence of the crop plants and weeds, and postemergence after formation of a few genuine leaves was examined. All the experiments were run for several months; during this period assessments were made at certain intervals employing the 0 to 100 scale.
III. Herbicidal action via the vapor phase
The remarkable herbicidal action of isoxazolylmthylthiol carbamates, even when not incorporated into the soil as is necessary with prior art thiol carbamates, suggested that the losses of active ingredient through evaporation were low. To examine this, the following exp
Results
The individual results from the various experiments and tables combine to give the following picture.
1) The introduction of the isoxazolylmethyl radical into the thiol carbamates
resulted in a shift in action, particularly in a broadening of the range of action
compared with prior art thiol carbamates. Thus, for instance, some compounds
developed an activity embracing that of N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3-dichloroallyl carbamate or N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3,3-trichloroallyl carbamate and of N,N
dipropylthiolethyl carbamate (cf. Tables 2, 3 and 5). In other instances, a
similar, at times somewhat poorer, herbicidal performance to that N-ethyl-N
cyclohexylthiolethyl carbamate was found. However, the selectivity range in
crop plants was incomparably greater (cf. Table 6). It should be pointed out at
this juncture that the prior art thiol carbamates were only employed in the
experiments because of their action as herbicides. Compounds having a
structure similar to that of the compounds of the invention are hitherto
unknown. A thiol carbamate having a heterocyclic ring and known as a
herbicide had insignificant activity (Table 3). The corresponding dithiol
carbamate was completely ineffective. Table 4 contains a further example of the
herbicidal action of the new isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates.
2) Whereas prior art thiol carbamates can only be used in specific crop plants or
groups thereof (e.g., broadleaved species) because of (a) their phytotoxicity, (b),
incorporation necessary for herbicidal action, and (c) the weed spectrum
combatted, some of the new compounds have an improved and wider selectivity
(Tables 3, 5, 6 and 7). Plant physiology may provide an explanation for the
selectivity of the compounds of the invention; the selectivity may also be
attributable in part to the application method employed. Immobile substances
distributed on the surface of the soil do not come into contact in phytotoxic
amounts with the seeds and roots of the crop plants lying somewhat deeper. This
selectivity is apparent in the case of compounds which can be left on the surface
of the soil after application, but does not exist when the active ingredients have
to be incorporated into the soil because of their high vapor pressure or for other
reasons, in order to avoid evaporation losses.
3) The new compound according to the invention had, when incorporated before
sowing, an action similar to that of prior art compounds. When applied without
incorporation they were superior to the prior art thiol carbamates suitable for
the crop in question (Table 8). Remarkable in this connection is the fact that for
instance the compound 3-methyl-5-isoxazolylmethyl-N,N-diisopropylthiol
carbamate, when applied preemergence to the surface, combatted unwanted
plants in Indian corn just as well as significant prior art preemergence herbicides
of different structure (Table 9). Successful control was also obtained during and
after emergence of the unwanted plants; the crop plants remained unaffected
(Tables 8, 10).
4) The phytotoxicity of the vapors of N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3,3-trichloroallyl carbamate for wild oats is known. This was confirmed in model experiments. Of
the new compounds, it was found that for instance the substance 3-methyl-S- isoxazolylmethyl-N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate had just as aggressive an action
on the crop plant oats in the directly treated vessels as N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3
dichloroallyl carbamate or N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3,3-trichloroallyl carbamate.
The plants in the untreated pots located in the same glass cylinder remained
undamaged by this new compound, whereas plant growth in the case of the
comparative compound has suffered (Table 11). Consequently, not enough
active ingredient has escaped from the directly treated pots to cause damage,
via the gas phase, to the neighboring test plants. The actual vapor pressure of 3
methyl-5-isoxazolylmethyl-N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate was 1.3 x 10-5
mbar at 20"C, whereas that of N,N-diisopropylthiol-2,3-dichloroallyl carbamate
at the same temperature was 3.7 x 10-4 mbar.
It goes without saying that the experimental results discussed here are only examples of the reaction of numerous unwanted and crop plants from a wide variety of botanical families. The application rates too can be varied beyond the examples; they depend on the end to which they are applied and on local conditions (site, plant size), and may for instance vary from 0.1 to 10 kg of active ingredient per hectare.
The particular advantage of this new group of isoxazolylmethylthiol carbamates over prior art thiol carbamates is the range of possible application methods.

The new compounds may also be mixed with mineral fertilizer solutions used to overcome nutritional or trace element deficiencies.
Application may be effected for instance in the form of directly sprayable solutions, homogenized in water by means of wetting or dispersing agents, adherents or emulsifiers. Concentrates which are suitable for dilution with water may be prepared from active ingredient, wetting agent, adherent, emulsifying or dispersing agent and possibly solvent or oil.
Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of ligninsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acids, phenolsulfonic acids, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, lauryl ether sulfate, fatty alcohol sulfates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of fatty acids, salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of sulfated fatty alcohol glycol ethers, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenol polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyester alcohols, isotridecyl alcohols, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin, sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.
Powders, dusts and broadcasting agents may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier.
Granules, e.g. coated, impregnated or homogeneous granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silicic acid, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin,
Attaclay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatmoaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and ureas, and vegetable products such as grain flours, bark meal, wood meal, and nutshell meal and cellulosic powders.
The formulations generally contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient.
There may be added to the compositions or individual active ingredients (if desired, immediately before use (tank-mix)) oils of various types, wetting agents or adherents, herbicides, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, trace elements, fertilizers, antifoams (e.g., silicones), growth regulators, antidotes and other herbicidally effective compounds. The last-mentioned herbicidal compounds may also be applied before or after the individual active ingredients according to the invention or compositions thereof.
These agents may be added to the herbicides according to the invention in a ratio by weight of from 1:10 to 10:1. The same applies to oils, wetting agents and adherents, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, antidotes and growth regulators.
